Hey guys…
Whats your take on UX designer being UI designer, Researcher, UAT tester? In India 80% of UX designers face the same issue. Thats what recruiters/recruiting agencies look forward. How is this managed in other countries?

When I first started out and we were a small team I was an all-rounder (although not a UAT tester). In some ways I was glad for the experiences I was given as it helped me identify my strengths and preferences. I have seen recently jobs advertised for UX designer, research and genius front end developer all in one - I think most recruiters are searching for a unicorn that they won’t find and perhaps they know the buzz words but not understand the skills.

I agree with you Jaison…I know many Digital Agencies & Product Companies who hire “Graphic Designer” who has to be an expert in UI/UX, Web designing & Front end development. Even in my previous job, I was a Creative lead who works on UI/UX projects, Web Designing, Managing projects, Working on Kinetic typo animations, the list goes on…
